do you know what is rong with speedy

Question
hello i need some help with my hermit crabs speedy(my bigest out of the two I have) will not come out of their coconut hut she usaly only comes out to eat but if I pick up speedy she will come out and walk around

Answer
Do you have a heat source for speedy and her friend? If so, is the hut directly on top of the heat? Speedy could be cold and huddling in the hut may help her a little bit, if you do have a heat source, you should get a bigger one or put a heat lamp above the tank too, if you don't, you need to get one. On the other hand, Speedy may be trying to molt, don't disturb her if she satrts burrowing in the sand or gravel or whatever you have (sand and coconut bedding are a LOT better than gravel) If you do disturb her, you may hurt her or stress her out so much she actually dies. Sprinkle calcium powder or crushed up cuttlebone onto Speedy and the other crab's food so Speedy can grow a better shell and look much healthier and prettier than before. One of my crabs is named Speedy, too, by the way, but mine's a boy, Mine are named Shadow, Speedy and Gonzo.
